I’m going to share  a little secret, Akexa does meditations and affirmations.

“Alexa, ask Mindfulness for a Minute Meditation” , “Alexa Open Buddha Says”

Alexa open “Ocean Sounds or Thunderstorms”.

Now, I suspect  your about to shout out “Jim what are you smokin out there in California”  you said Mediation not Meditation and you are exactly right, Alexa has a Mediation Skill.

Amazon #AskAlexa, just approved the first Mediation skill on the planet.

Take a guess–it’s called My Mediator.

Its under the Skill  Business and Finance.

The description is My Mediator for Alexa can give details on how to resolve California Real Estate Disputes via Mediation versus Litigation.

Deposit Disputes, Probates, Partnerships, non-disclosure are examples used.

Proudly the  author developed this skill with a world wide team of code developers.

As a Mediator, I use Alexa, for scheduling appointments, looking up addresses, playing soft music in cacuses, and she acts as white noise in my conference room, between multiple disputants.

I set my nighlty alarm clock.  She even finds for me top rated legal folks for contacts.

Socially she plays music to soothe my soul and Zydeco to dance in my living room.

The goal for 2017 is to share Amazon Alexa, with Bar Members, Mediators, the general public that technology will be a part of your future as a Mediator.

Just Ask Alexa for “My Mediator”
